And as Pi said, it's next year's problem but to add to it, it's the next GM's problem.

And screw that guy! Also the fans. Screw them too.

It's only fair. Tambo had to deal with Lowe's mess. MacT had to deal with Tambo's. Chia with MacT's. Holland with Chia's.
It's actually really nice to leave a pile of crap behind. It gives the next guy an excuse they can ride for 2-3 years.
Obviously we all have to ignore how the people above the GM just sat there, letting the outgoing guy do things that will handcuff the next guy.
|
It's still mind-boggling that the Oilers allowed Chiarelli to sign a big deal committing us to a goalie for three years the same week that they fired him.
The ownership and upper management has been extremely patient with multiple GMs now who have refused to really set any goals or timelines for team success or who are quite happy to just throw their hands up and suggest that they just couldn't possibly have been successful because of any number of external factors - including their predecessors mistakes.
I honestly can't think of another team where a new GM has tried to set the expectation that they are screwed for 2-3 years due to the moves of the guy who just left - Holland's probably the only one, because most teams would have asked applicants to explain how they're going to turn things around...

Well, when you rely on manipulation and sell hope you tend to hang onto that hope for as long as it lasts ... and it lasts until the situation is desperate. Then you desperately start looking for a new source of hope. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Don't worry though, the Oilers will have Cap Space in two years.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
